Chapter 48 Establishment

After the problem of building materials was solved, I started to work on both sides of the city and outside the city. Although it was just a game, building a city was not as simple as it seemed.

I was busy until noon when I was pulled by an eagle to the bottom of the Juling Tower. "What are you doing?" I held the financial table in my left hand and the city gate design sketch in my other hand. I was so busy that I wished I could use the clone technique to work!

Ying opened the system time and showed it to me. I looked at him confused, not knowing what he meant! The eagle was about to get angry, so I quickly comforted him: "I'm really busy right now and I want to get the two halves together. Please stop playing riddles with me and tell me what's going on."

Eagle might have been really defeated by me, so he shook his head and said, "Aren't you going to build a city?"

"Am I not building this?"

"You don't want system certification?"

"Oh!" Then I remembered that I had to officially open the city function at noon, so that next Saturday would be just in time for the monsters to attack the city, and 14 days later it would be the attack time of the Temple of Light. This can't be careless!

I put the document in my hand on my body and quickly followed Ying into the Spirit-Juling Tower. The central hall in the Juling Tower is now our temporary headquarters. Rose and a group of girls are all here to direct the work. A huge desk moved from nowhere is piled with a mountain of drawings and reports. ! When they saw me coming in, everyone immediately stopped what they were doing.

Bai Ling came over and looked at the eagle: "Is the time up?"

"Well! It's almost done!"

"Then, Ziri, start now!"

"Got it!" I opened the bracelet and tried to take out the city scepter from inside, but I accidentally lost my grip and the seeds of the strange big tree that Mei Mingzhi gave me fell out together with the scepter. The scepter fell straight to the ground. The moment the scepter made contact with the ground, golden light flashed and the scepter disappeared!

A golden bright spot appeared where the scepter disappeared. After only lasting for a second, the bright spot suddenly spread like water ripples and spread out in all directions at a very high speed. If you look down from above the city now, you will definitely be able to see the aura sweeping across the entire city at an alarming speed.

The halo that the bright spots turned into spreads forward without any obstruction at all. The moment the light passed by the base of the Juling Tower, there was a loud clicking sound from the side of the Juling Tower's base, and a door crack appeared on the wall of the Juling Tower's base. Then the door crack opened slowly, and a door stretched downward. The tunnel appears on the pedestal.

The same stone gates like this have appeared in various places in the city one after another. There are many entrances to the underground city on the ground in Essinger. Because there is no authorization from the city, these entrances have been closed. But now that Essinger has been resurrected, these entrances in the city The doors opened automatically.

After the halo spread to the city wall, the city wall also changed dramatically. A row of blue magic lights lit up on the top of the originally bare city wall. Many huge runes suddenly appeared on the rocks outside the city wall, and these runes were shining with blood-red light, which looked very weird! The bases of the 0 magic crystal cannons on the top of the city wall also rose up from the city wall. Although there were no cannons on them, these infrastructures were still activated. Gates suddenly opened in the direction of the city wall. Inside the hollow city wall, there turned out to be a huge network of tunnels, and all of these hidden exits were now open.

On the other side of the city, the section of city wall that blocked the waterway suddenly began to sink. Soon, the entire section of the river's sluice completely sank to the bottom of the water, and the two ship locks on the river also opened automatically.

When we all ran out chasing the golden halo, the vanguard of the halo was almost reaching the outermost city wall. One can imagine how quickly the halo spread.

The halos that rushed under the city wall did not stop. They continued to rush several kilometers outside the city wall before stopping. When the outer ring of the halo reached its extreme range, it suddenly flashed, and we all heard a strange sound, which sounded like the sound when the sealing formation was completed.

After the halo disappeared, strange patterns suddenly appeared on the ground under our feet, but these patterns were just black marks and did not shine like the runes on the city wall.

Rose suddenly pointed to a corner of the city wall and said, "What is that?"

What we saw along the way was a huge red light beam, shining straight into the sky like a searchlight. This thing could be seen from all four corners of the city. Bai Ling suddenly shouted: "There are some behind us too!"

When everyone turned around, they discovered that the magic array in the Juling Tower also emitted a red light beam with a diameter of more than ten meters. Although the light beam shone on the top of the Juling Tower, it did not block it but passed through the top of the tower. Shoot straight into the sky.

At this time, the red lights in the four corners of the city suddenly began to tilt, and they tilted towards the center of the city at the same time. The four light beams and the light beam emitted by the Juling Tower intersected at an intersection above the Juling Tower. The strange thing is that this intersection did not become brighter due to the gathering of light pillars, but instead a huge black hole appeared. A flame-like extension gradually appeared around the hollow. This extension was beating and deforming, and soon it turned into an olive-shaped thing.

A crack suddenly appeared in the center of this super-large olive. Just when we didn't know what happened, the crack suddenly opened. At the same time, the light pillar suddenly disappeared, and only this strange thing remained above the Juling Tower. I recognized this huge thing burning with brown-red flames in an instant. "The Eye of Hell! I didn't expect such a thing to exist in the Magic City!"

Just as I finished speaking, the crack finally opened completely. Now everyone has confirmed my statement. The huge eye with the terrifying pupils like a cat's eye is definitely the eye of hell. Essinger is indeed the magic city. This symbol Something with pure dark power actually appears here!

A group of cavalry suddenly appeared on the edge of the forest outside the city. Looking at their shining armor and the Crusader flag behind them, we immediately understood their identity. They were the troops of the Temple of Light.

The eagle ran over anxiously. "Zi Ri! What's going on? Isn't that the Holy Crusaders from the Temple of Light? Why did they come so fast?"

"I don't know! I can't control that much now, gather people quickly, we have to prepare to fight!" It's really unlucky that the temple's attack will arrive so early! Arni is still in the Dark Temple, and there is no way her army can come over so quickly. The Dragon Clan heard that I needed a lot of gems to strengthen the city's defense, so they went back to help me transport the gems. Now they may have just arrived at Dragon Island! Although most of the female players in our guild are here, can they survive alone? Our future suddenly became bleak!

"Look over there!" Jin Coin pointed at the outermost city wall. I saw that there were actually turrets rising on the top of the ordinary city wall. Different from the magic crystal cannon turrets with only the base left, these turrets were stacked with intact giant ballistae. Looking at the density of Essinger's front city wall, I'm afraid There must be more than ten thousand crossbows!

Just when we were completely at a loss, the Eye of Hell above our heads suddenly shot out a dazzling red light. At the same time as the Eye of Hell, the Holy Cross Legion also began to attack. The thick beam of light from the Eye of Hell swept across the ground, and the knights of the Holy Cross Legion who were illuminated immediately disappeared. Even those who were touched by the edge of the beam of light would immediately be reduced to ashes. The light beam swept across the ground, leaving a huge black trail. Green smoke was rising from the scorched ground, and no grass was left where the light beam passed. Knights, horses, armor, flags, nothing was left of everything that was touched, not even the slightest bit of damage!

Although the light beam was powerful, the number of cavalry was also huge. Some cavalry rushed to the city wall. At this time, the unmanned ballistae started to operate. From this distance we all heard the hum of a bowstring. The penetrating power of the three-meter-long angry arrows fired by the crossbow is unimaginable. Many of the angry arrows passed through two or three people in a row and then nailed the last unlucky person directly to the ground. It was so terrifying. The attack power is really unimaginable!

We don’t know what to do now. A large number of craftsmen in the city are still working. They can’t see outside the city from under the city wall. They don’t know anything except hearing the sound of bowstrings and seeing the beam of the Eye of Hell. , but we can clearly see all this while standing on the base of Juling Tower!

Although we didn't do anything because it happened so suddenly, we were actually doing it by ourselves. Essinger's city defense system was really speechless. The powerful attack power actually directly killed that large number of cavalry. It was destroyed directly under the city wall, and we didn't move during this period! This is entirely the defensive behavior of the defense system itself!

In just ten minutes, all the attacking cavalry were completely dead, and not a single person was left! All of us who saw all this were dumbfounded, and no one understood what was going on! The siege of the Temple of Light that was supposed to happen two weeks later actually started a few minutes after the city was established. What makes us even more surprised is that our carefully prepared defense plan did not use the entire offensive force of the Temple of Light because of Ai Singer's automatic defense system was wiped out! How did this happen?

"What are you doing?" Yang Kun walked up from the steps. Seeing that we were all looking in the same direction, he also looked back. "Oh! Are you watching animation?"

"What? Animation?" I didn't react for a moment!

"Isn't it?"

"You said we were watching animation?" I couldn't believe it! "I just saw the attacking troops of the Temple of Light!"

"I know you saw it, but it's not a real siege. Several clients I have received have this. As soon as the city is established, there will be an enemy invasion plot. This plot is completely a real-time animation. During the whole process No matter whether the players in the guild participate or not, the city will always win in the end. Of course, the same result will happen if you participate in the battle yourself! Many people were deceived when they first built a city, thinking that it was a real siege, and they were scared at the time. He was half dead, but then he won the battle inexplicably. Many people didn’t know it was animation until they won. The design of the game company is very interesting! I never tell customers about this in advance, so that they can have fun! Really It’s so much fun!”

After listening to Yang Kun's words, Jin Coin and the other girls collapsed on the ground. "I was scared to death. I thought I was going to be doomed this time!" There were already a lot of sweat beads on Jin Coin's head. It seemed that he was really scared just now!

To be honest, I was scared to death just now. Originally, when the city was in the best condition, we united with the Dragon Clan and the Dark Temple to fight together. The battle was not necessarily winnable, but we actually arrived in the city early and started right after it started. How can we not be afraid!

System information suddenly appeared in our guild channel: "The city of Essinger, affiliated to the Frost Rose Alliance, was officially established. The guild points increased and the city entered the construction stage. In the next 7 days from now, no monsters will be refreshed within kilometers around the city. , existing monsters will also leave this range on their own. The monster siege will officially begin after the 7th, lasting 16 hours. If you fail, you will be forced to disband the guild and punish all members to be downgraded to three levels. Because Essinger belongs to a special address, on the 14th Afterwards, the Temple of Light will cleanse Isinger, players please prepare yourself!"

The prompt information is similar to our plan. Monsters will attack the city in 7 days, and the Temple of Light will attack the city in 14 days. It seems that we have to hurry up!

The city certification is now over, and everyone has returned to their respective jobs. I still have to go to the Juling Pagoda to fight against those piles of blueprints. What a miserable life!

"What is this?" I heard someone talking before I entered the Spirit Gathering Tower.

I ran two steps and came to the tower. "What's the matter?"

"Look what happened?" Shura Ziyi stood in the middle of the hall and pointed at the ground.

I didn't even get to her before I saw what she wanted me to see - a plant! This is a plant that is only one meter tall. It seems that it has just grown and is not yet mature. But based on the current appearance, we can basically tell that this is a tree. But how come there are trees growing inside the Juling Pagoda?

I suddenly remembered that I had brought something with me when I took the city scepter. I quickly opened the bracelet to confirm, and sure enough, the seeds of that big tree were missing! It seems that what just fell out with the scepter is the seed of this tree, but this thing shouldn't sprout on the hard floor of the hall!

The small tree is no different from the big tree except that it has no fruit. Its shape is a miniature version of the big tree. I curiously put my hand on the branch and wanted to pull it out completely before it grew up. The rose vine said that the roots of this thing can cover an area of ​​several kilometers. If it grows up, I won't be able to pull it out even if I am Superman!

As soon as my hand touched the branch, a strange voice suddenly sounded in my head. "Are you the city lord?"

I was so frightened that I took my hand back, but the sound disappeared immediately. Could it be an illusion? I put my hand up again and the sound came again. "Where am I talking to you?"

"Who are you?"

"I'm Shura Ziyi! Ziri, are you okay?" Shura Ziyi, who was standing next to me, thought I was talking to her.

"I'm not telling you, but this tree seems to be able to talk!"

"Oh? Really? Why can't I hear you?"

"It seems like you have to put your hands on the branches to hear it!"

After listening to my words, Shura Ziyi also put her hand up, and she immediately showed the same expression as me. It seems that it is indeed a plant that can communicate as long as it is touched!

"Are you the city lord?" Xiaoshu asked me the same thing again.

"Yes!"

"Hello, City Lord, I am City Tree."

"City tree?" A new term! Have not heard!

"It's a plant that manages part of the city. My root system can cover the entire city. I can control most of the functions you need!"

Shura Ziyi also heard these words and whispered to me: "It seems like a city central control system!"

Xiaoshu continued: "I have already demonstrated my abilities during the intruder attack just now! What do you think of my abilities?"

"You control the Eye of Hell?" I was shocked!

"No! The Eye of Hell is automatic, and I control the ballistae on those walls!"

"Halo! It turns out to be an advanced urban network system! So the image of the tree here is your central control system?"

"Almost! If you have any instructions in the future, you can tell me directly here. You can communicate with me as long as you touch me with your hands. I am still young and can only control some things. When I grow up, the city gates, I can control the sewers, defense systems, and traffic transitions at will!"

"Then how are you going to grow up? Do you need watering? You grow here but you don't get the sun!" Shura Ziyi took great care of the tree.

"I don't need sunlight. My life is the life of the city. I don't need watering. Although my roots won't appear in your sight, they are actually spread throughout the city. I can get what I need by myself. You don’t have to worry about it!”

We communicated with this little tree for a while, and then everyone went about their own business. Now I know why there is no way to identify this kind of tree in Mei Mingzhi, because it can only become a real city tree if it grows in the city hall, otherwise it will be an empty shell!

In the next two days, I helped the masons mine hundreds of millions of tons of building materials and piled them into several mountains of materials. The next construction work will depend on these things!

Although there are many basic materials such as stone and wood near Essinger, it is still very troublesome to get some special materials. I was forced to come to the City of Devotion again. After all, the Goddess Alliance is the second largest guild. Although they don't have much stock in materials, they should be able to buy them!

I visited the headquarters of the Goddess Alliance last time, but because of my poor memory and my wanderlust, I still couldn’t find it. Fortunately, the Goddess Alliance is quite famous, so I asked all the way and still found it. Different from the last time I came here, this time there was a row of guards standing at the gate of the Goddess Alliance.

"Who is it?" I was stopped as soon as I passed.

"I'm looking for your president!"

"President Hongyue is not here right now!" The girl who stopped me spoke very politely.

"Not there? Then do you know where she is now? I have something urgent!"

"I'm sorry, the president's whereabouts can't be disclosed to you for the time being!" The little girl guarding is really dedicated!

At this time, a group of people came out of the guild. The leader was the one I knew, the girl named Bing'er whom I met when I came here last time. She obviously recognized me, after all, my outfit is too special, and few others dress as exaggeratedly as I do!

"Are you the same person last time?" Bing'er still had a frosty face like her name!

"Yes, I'm here to see your president. Do you know where she is?"

"Just contact her via private message!"

"I contacted her and she turned off the private chat!"

"Then I can't help you!" Bing'er replied coldly.

At this moment, Big Pot Rice suddenly ran over from behind. "Boss, I finally found you!"

"It's you!" Bing'er saw the big pot of rice, and her calm eyes suddenly turned into a stormy sea!

Daguofan was startled by the shout from you. He looked up and saw Bing'er still standing on the steps. The boy turned around and ran away without saying anything. "Hey! Don't run!" Hearing Bing'er's cry, Big Pot Rice ran faster! Bing'er picked up the hem of her skirt and chased after her, but the long skirt used by the female mage was obviously not suitable for sports!

The girls behind them got two unicorns from nowhere. A girl dressed as a warrior mounted the unicorn and then led another empty unicorn and chased after them. Bing'er saw the unicorn brought by her companion and quickly jumped up and started chasing the big pot of rice on time. "They are a group!" After Bing'er and the others ran away, one of the girls standing at the door suddenly pointed at me and shouted. As you can imagine, a large group of girls swarmed me!

You would be a fool not to run at this time! In one leap, I was already on the roof of the building opposite. "Don't get me wrong, I don't know that person!"

"Who are you lying to? He just called you eldest brother! Sisters, catch him!" This time it was completely chaotic. Many little girls rushed into the building at my feet to catch me. Rows of warriors and mages also ran out of the building next to me. It seemed that someone had called people in the guild to help!

I really had no choice, so I turned over and fell to the ground and wanted to explain to the girl who was taking the lead, but as soon as she saw me approaching, she immediately waved her staff and started preparing magic! "Prepare to attack!" An order suddenly came from the side. When he turned around, he saw a very familiar scene of an execution ground! I felt as if I was about to be shot. Opposite me were three neat rows of crossbowmen. The first row was lying on their stomachs, the second row was half-kneeling, and the third row was standing. The arrows were of course pointed at me! Behind them, there are groups of archers preparing to throw their shots high. It would be great if they all hit!

"Let go!" the other party's commander shouted, and a large hail of arrows flew over. It's too late to hide. There should be no problem with defense. Ordinary arrows shouldn't kill me instantly! I opened the mercury shield in the direction of the arrow rain with one hand, and a hemispherical shield appeared in front of me, blocking my whole body inside. After a crackling sound, the arrow rain passed, and the ground around me was stared at like hedgehogs. Only the land covered by my protective shield was not covered by the arrow rain!

The opponent's archers obviously didn't expect that my protective ability was so good. I didn't have time to wait for them to attack again. Mercury's defense strength was based on my magic value. Let them attack like this. If I go down, my magic power will be gone!

The current situation is really troublesome. Only a few people in the Goddess Alliance know me, the Red Moon people are not here, Bing'er ran away after the big pot of rice, and now the remaining people think that I am the bad guy. It is really troublesome! The most annoying thing is that I have to ask for help for a while, but it’s hard to do anything harsh! What a hassle!

"Stop! Stop it!" A girl suddenly ran out from the headquarters of the Goddess Alliance, and she was actually shouting stop!

I don’t know what her position is in the Goddess Alliance, but in any case, it seems that her level is not low, and the people around her immediately stopped attacking. I stood stupidly in the middle of the road waiting to see what she was going to do. Although she shouted stop, it didn't mean that she was helping me. Maybe she just felt that the current attack method was wrong and wanted to adjust it!

The girl who just appeared ran all the way in front of me. "Are you Ziri from the Frost Rose Alliance?" The other party actually knows me!

"Well! It's me. Are you...?" I really don't remember! "I seem to have some impression, but I just can't remember it!"

"You don't know me, we have never met officially!" The other person's words almost made me stumble! To put it bluntly, it helps!

I could only smile awkwardly: "So how do you know me?"

"I'm just saying that we haven't met officially. It's not that we haven't met. The two of us have actually met! Maybe you don't remember, but during the attack and defense of Dedication City, I was the chief priest of the Goddess Alliance. At that time When you are talking to the president, I will stand behind and to the left of the president!"

I knew it when she said that, but I really don’t remember it. How could I have bothered to look at the men brought by Hong Yue during the war? "Do you know where your president is? I have something to do with her!"

"President!" She thought for a moment and said: "The president went to the branch in Goddess City for a meeting this morning. I don't know if he is still there now!" She looked at the system time and continued: "It's almost noon. He should be back soon!"

"Zi Ri?" Just as Hong Yue was saying this, he came from behind! "Why do you have time to come to my poor place?"

Hongyue's words made her angry as soon as she heard them, but thinking about it, I haven't contacted her for a long time! Something is indeed wrong! "I've been a little busy lately, I'm really sorry!"

"Come in and talk!" Hongyue took me into the courtyard of the guild headquarters. This place is almost exactly the same as the branch of the Goddess League in Goddess City. Even the sculpture of a girl riding a unicorn in the middle of the small square is exactly the same!

"Where did your guild buy this sculpture? Why are the two exactly the same?"

Hongyue glanced at the sculpture and said, "This is the original one from Goddess City. We moved it here!"

I said so! I thought the Goddess Alliance had its own sculptor! If you happen to have one, you can borrow it and use it!

Hongyue took me into the living room. After briefly explaining a few words to her subordinates, she turned to me and said, "Tell me! What's the matter?"

"I'm here to ask for your help!"

"Looking for my help? Are you looking for another city that I can help you occupy?" Hongyue's personality seems to have changed a lot recently. She was not like this before!

"I'm not asking you to fight, I'm just borrowing your connections. I hope you can help me buy something!"

"What are you acquiring?"

I handed over the list, and Hongyue took it and looked at it. "Do you have a city?"

"kindness!"

"You...!" She seemed to want to get angry, but she didn't know why she didn't get angry! "Forget it, I have most of these things, I'll sell them to you at my purchase price!"

"Thank you so much!" I didn't expect Hongyue to have everything. This really saves me a lot of trouble!

"Don't thank me yet!" Hongyue interrupted my thank you. "I'm not giving it for free, I have a request! If you can help me fulfill my request, I can sell it to you at the purchase price. If you can't complete it..." After a pause, she continued: "I will still do it. Here it is, but the price is doubled!”

"What do you want?"

She didn't say anything directly but handed me a roll of paper. I opened it and saw that it seemed to be a map. And this is not a map of an area, but a diagram of the internal structure of a building. What kind of building has such a large area?
